Sketch Match If you‚??ve ever visited us at past GDC‚??s you may remember the art contest‚??well, we‚??re bringing it back. This year‚??s contest is called Sketch Match And we‚??re asking artists to put their creative talents to the test for a chance to win prizes from Adobe and Autodesk. The contest goes like this: Using old school materials like charcoal, pastels and chalk, 8 artists must draw whatever comes to mind given a theme that we provide them, while also including the NVIDIA logo. They have 20 minutes to complete their piece. The audience will help judge who best matched the theme and the top 3 will move on to the next round. The top 3 winners from each session battle it out against each other to move on to the final round where they compete for the grand prize.

Sketch Match contest is Thursday, March 11 only. Artists and art students only please. The competition is fierce, so bring you‚??re ‚??A‚?? game!
